Step deeper into the world of legendary hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett with Undiscovered Corbett by Ian Douglas — a fascinating exploration of one of the most influential figures in sporting history.
Drawing on rare archival material, Douglas presents a fresh perspective on Corbett’s extraordinary life through previously unseen photographs, personal correspondence, field notes, and historical accounts. More than simply retelling the famous man-eater hunts, the book reveals the character behind the legend — his deep respect for wildlife, passion for the Indian jungle, and enduring relationships with fellow outdoorsmen.
Corbett’s connection to John Rigby & Co. remains an important part of the story, particularly the celebrated .275 Rigby rifle associated with his hunting exploits and now preserved within Rigby’s historic collection.
Beautifully detailed and thoughtfully written, this book captures both the adventure and humanity of a man whose influence still resonates throughout the hunting world today. A must-have for enthusiasts of classic safari history, Rigby heritage, and fine sporting literature.
